Apple-Cinnamon Protein Pancakes..

Wow.. that's a mouth full....of deliciousness.. Anyway before I get to that, I want to talk about last night!
Last night The Mr. and I went on a date with just us. Seriously, we tried to remember the last time just the two of us went out and it was our anniversary LAST year, which is in February. A little overdue? I think so.. So thanks to our friends that came to watch the twins for us while we went out on the town.
We decided to go rock climbing! The Mr. took a rock climbing class in college, but its been awhile so we were both rookies at this point. We went to this place called momentum. It was awesome! The walls are HUGE and they have different levels everywhere. I personally like the easy road.. Big rocks that are easy to grab and spaced close together..

Half way up.. Yes I know, my outfit rocks.

ps. I did make it to the top

Mr. chose a more difficult level.

Piece of cake.

Here goes handsome

This was a really fun date, the only thing is that their really aren't a lot of employees around to help you tie your knots and teach you the "ropes". Luckily, this cool chick helped us out, so we didn't fall to our death.
We had such a fun time! After the climb, we were hangry, so the Mr. and I went to RED MANGO, Seriously, this is not your normal yogurt place.. I know there are so many, but most are laden with sugar, cornstarch etc.. (fake healthy) Red mango is an all natural yogurt, gluten free, kosher, filled with probiotics, fresh and delicious! I always usually get original which is only 90 cal. for the small, and I add raspberries and Graham cracker crumble on top! They have a dark chocolate right now that the Mr. got and it was SOOO good.. good thing he got a large so I could steal a few bites ;)

perfection

After such a late night, this morning we woke up craving Pancakes!! I didn't have anymore blueberries, so blueberry pancakes were out.. I browsed the Internet and found a recipe from mama pea. So I asked the mister.. How about apple-cinnamon?

yes, please.

I haven't read that Jodi Picoult book, but I loved "Nineteen Minutes." All of her books are great reads, really. I need to start trying some of these recipes. I'm new to this protein stuff, but hopefully will see the benefits of it soon!

I am a mother

Becoming a mother was the best day of my life. In July 2010, I became a support, a friend, a mom to two beautiful children. Before I was a mom, I was an avid runner, fitness instructor and health advocate. When I became pregnant I continued my healthy habits and this is my journey back to my pre pregnancy shape.
My children are my inspiration, I strive for better health and strength not only for myself but for them.
A body of a mother is a beautiful thing! So what if you gained weight, or that skin on your belly isn't as tight as before. NO matter the shape, size, or number of stretchmarks! It created something that is irreplaceable and of the upmost beauty.
So, To all your mothers out there, always look at the positive and never forget what you created. You can always bounce back. Heres how I'm doing it. If you need help just follow along :)
